Alton Brown on The End of Meat As We Know It

Alton Brown toured a plant where they make a vegetable replacement for chicken. And he pronounces it good. The interesting part is their process actually produces fibrous texture, so you can shred the chicken.

If it looks like it, tastes like it, and can be cooked like the regular meats, and it can be manufactured to be cheaper than the actual meat, it will hopefully be able to supplant the factory-farming methods.

That's the hope. It'd be cool if it works out. I haven't finished the entire article yet, I wonder how the price point will compare to conventional chicken. I'd be willing to pay a bit more, knowing how chickens are typically raised.
